How old is the name Pinkney?
The Social Security Administration’s records begin in 1880, and Pinkney is already there in that first year — so the name is older than the record and these figures cannot date it. It has been recorded in 60 of the 146 years since. It was last recorded in 1958.
How many people are named Pinkney?
The Social Security Administration has recorded 531 American births named Pinkney between 1880 and 2025. That is recorded US births, not a world population — it counts people issued a Social Security number at birth in the United States.
How many babies were named Pinkney in 2025?
Pinkney was not recorded in 2025. The SSA withholds any name given to fewer than five babies in a year, so fewer than five American babies were given it.

Across the whole record Pinkney is a boy’s name — 0.0% of the 531 Americans given it were girls and 100.0% were boys.
Counted from every US birth the Social Security Administration recorded under this name, so it reflects use rather than opinion. A name given to fewer than five babies of one sex in a year is withheld at source and is not counted.
